    Ugh, not sure if I posted this on your wall or mine by accident.

     

    ---

    I literally just finished reading chapter 726. Did you read that one? I would as well but I bought a subscription to Weekly Shonen Jump so might as well read them.

     

    BTW I grabbed all the color spreads from that link you sent a while ago if you want a zipped version containing them all.

    Uniqlo have some new One Piece T-shirts. http://www.uniqlo.com/uk/store/clothing/ut/onepiece/

     

    That Battle Franky one is suuuper, shame it's yellow. Might buy it anyway.

    Used to use Mangapanda but their translations were pretty bad so I've just been using Mangareader recently, I was wondering if there was a better place to read them myself. Wish Viz made Shonen Jump Alpha available over here.

     

    Viz are doing a boxset with volumes 1 - 23 if you haven't started buying volumes yet, not out until November though.

     

    ONE PIECE BOX SET: EAST BLUE & BAROQUE WORKS • Rated ‘T’ for Teens •

    MSRP $185.99 U.S. / $185.99 CAN • Available November 1st 2013

    A premium box set that bundles the first two story arcs of ONE PIECE, one of the most beloved and bestselling manga series of all time! The Box Set includes volumes 1-23, which comprise the series’ first two story arcs, East Blue and Baroque Works. The set includes an exclusive poster and mini-comic, and delivers great savings over buying the volumes individually to make for a true pirate’s treasure for any manga fan!

     

    Amazon should stock it.

    Very good :) Wonder if you have the same version as me, the quality was pretty bad on mine as well, lol. Had to watched bits and pieces of the movies to remind myself about them, haven't seen them in ages. Movie 2 is good if I remember right. Movie 3 and 5 I wasn't a big fan of. Think I'll have to rewatch them :).

     

    Yeah, the lastest episode was good:

     

    Red Hawk was great, the anime added a few things (the Ace throwback). Wonder how Luffy managed to 1). Set his arm on fire. 2). Do it underwater. :P

     

    Brook was good this episode, not usually a fan of him. Zeo is hilarious.

     

    Also, Monster Chopper!

     

     

     

    Think after this arc, I'll let the new one build up and marathon them, nothing better than a One Piece marathon :).

     

    FUNImations next DVD is out end of October, but I usually get them a couple of weeks before the release date so shouldn't be too long before the end of the Davy Back Fight.

  5. Ike

    Was listening to Fight Together a lot yesterday.

     

    Haha, yeah. Also slightly creepy.

     

    :o They have a Gaimon t-shirt! :laughing:

     

    They have some good new designs, tempted by the Fishman island art and the Elephant Gun t-shirts. Bet you ordered the Law t-shirt? ;)

  6. Ike

    Watched the Chopper movie last night, pretty good (easily better than movie 8 ;)). Just reminds me how good/sad Chopper's backstory is.

     

    Has some weird animation in places and they changed a lot of the Wapol fight. Was also odd having Robin and frank there, Robin pretty much replaced Vivi though.

     

    Recommend watching it.

  7. Ike

    Well honestly I wasn't expecting much but, surprisingly, it's a lot better RPG than I expected, even if it is somewhat basic.

     

    Yeah battles are turn based, but you can join attacks into combos, so for example say Luffy can attack 3 times then use a Gum Gum Pistol. There are "special" abilities, I guess not sure what they are called, that you can use to heal or increase stats. Ussop has a move that just seems to knock enemies down (I think it involves him lying or something (I have 8000 men!), might be making that up though :P). You can unlock more combos and powerup our moves by sending SP.

     

    Boss battles seem to have a huge difficulty spike, Morgan and Buggy were long boss battles, although Kuro was the first one to give me trouble. I hear Krieg is tough and he's up next.

  8. Ike

    Yeah I just got it from Shopto since they're more reliable. Been away for a couple of days so haven't played it yet, it's installing now.

     

    Also got One Piece volume 64 and the latest One Piece episode to catch up on as well (anime has been dragging out the Fishman Island arc out mind), so lots of One Piece at the moment :)

     

    You get your copy of Episode 2 yet?

  9. Ike

    Yeah much prefer physical books.

     

    I guess it depends if you can wait that long. Probably depends on how well the first one sold and if they do a set every year, in which case could be another 2 years to get to volume 60-ish. It's hard to say at the moment, I don't think Viz has said anything about it yet.

     

    Yeah, I only read it because the new chapters are in the Weekly Jump. I had to go back and read all the earlier chapters to understand what was going on and who the characters were though. It's a change of pace from One Piece, I suppose. ::shrug:

     

    I was thinking about importing the Vita version of J-Stars Victory VS yesterday but it's pretty expensive.

  10. Yeah seems like a good deal, especially since it's the more expensive 3G model. Although the 3G isn't that useful. Shopto says last few so I would grab it if you want it.

     

    Depends if you would prefer the new model, the old/current model has the better screen.

    Yeah they were great together. Might watch the Japanese dub this weekend.

     

    Ah, that sucks. :(

     

    They've added Brand New World to Wii U Karaoke's song list so might use my free trial and check it out when no one else is home.

  13. Ike

    Yeah, except it's mandatory for PS3 games.

     

    Even the second copy hasn't turned up? I only bought it from the The Hut because my Dad had a 10% off voucher :P but normally I avoid using them.

     

    Was thinking about letting the episodes build up again, might just go back and watch the ones I missed.

  14. Ike

    Yeah, it was nice. Rained a lot due to it being their rainy season though, but it was still hot. Heard it got hot over here though.

     

    Visited Epcot, Animal Kingdom, Blizzard Beachand the Magic Kingdom. Didn't get to go on some of the big rides at Magic Kingdom though, it got really busy.

     

    In One Piece news, my Hands Up! single arrived today. They did different covers so I went for the Luffy one Nami cover was sold out when I ordered mine.

  15. Ike

    Yeah, was from the opening. Was nice they didn't just reuse "We Are!" for once.

     

    The first animated scene I saw was Usopp disbanding the Usopp Pirates and it looked like it had been redrawn

    But I don't think there's any new footage unless there's some later in the game or something, but most of it seems to come from the anime anyway.

  16. Yep, not really going be some action for a few episodes now that we're at the end of the arc. Some interesting story stuff coming up though. Won't say too much otherwise I'll spoil it :P

     

    That was really We Go!?. It didn't sound like it too me, lol.

     

    Guess you'll find out next week about Jinebei, or you could read the manga ;) Unless you really want me to spoil it :P

     

    Chopper and Sanji were funny in this episode. Was laughing how Robin had to carry Chopper about and Sanji being jealous.

     

    Just hope they don't do a filler arc now.

     

    Watched movie 5 last night, was better then I remembered. Don't actual remember why I disliked it now. Think it was because I originally thought Zoro was acting odd it in.

    You should be able to access old issues that you got while you are subscribed, but no option to get issues before.

     

    I screenshotted them from my tablet. ;)

  18. Ike

    Happy birthday!

  19. Ike

    Happy birthday! Hope you’re enjoying your travels.

  20. Ike

    Added you back :)

  21. Ike

    Ah. I was close. I think I predicted it would go up to volume 45. Been thinking lately if I should by the boxsets just to have them all in a nice box. Don't really have the room for it though. :(

  22. Ike

    Both! I haven't been keeping up with the Japanese Anime/Manga lately though.

  23. Ike

    Florida in America. Went to the Disney Land parks. Back now though.

  24. Ike

    Forgot to mention before, but there's a special edition PSP for Romance Dawn. Was really tempting but don't really want to pay that much for a PSP at this point.

  25. Ike

    Good job I don't post any spoilers like I almost did then, haha.
